Church Lectionary Resources Get "Greener"
"Seasons of the Spirit" is the first to offer three greener formats for delivery of Church Lectionary Resources: "SeasonsPrint", "SeasonsDisk" and "SeasonsOnline".
Kelowna, BC (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 2, 2008 -- "Seasons of the Spirit" is the first resource for Christian education, worship and service to offer three greener formats for delivery: "SeasonsPrint", "SeasonsDisk" and "SeasonsOnline".
T hese choices enable a church to choose the option that is best suited to its' unique needs. Each option is convenient, cost-effective and eco-friendly. All of these new delivery methods are greener alternatives to the traditional shipping of print resources.
Marcus Borg says of the product, "When people ask me to recommend a program that reflects and embodies transformation centered Christianity, I always recommend 'Seasons of the Spirit.'"
Lois Huey-Heck, Publisher of the "Seasons of the Spirit" resources says, "We've always written respect for creation into the program. 'Seasons' encourages people to live more respectfully on the planet. We are pleased now to be able to extend this care for creation even into the way we produce and deliver 'Seasons.'"
"Seasons" print congregations can rest assured that we use recycled paper, thinner paper stocks, and the most ink coverage per page. Even so, "SeasonsDisk" uses less of the earth's resources. "SeasonsOnline," of course, uses even less. We recognize that not every church is ready for digital delivery and that is why we will continue to be as green as possible in the production of our print church resources while offering greener alternatives.
"Seasons of the Spirit" is one inclusive program for the whole church. It supports faith communities and families in their life together by inspiring and equipping leaders. It also nurtures the imaginative spirit using arts, drama, and music. The program offers resources for all ages. "Seasons of the Spirit" is unique in that it integrates worship, learning, and serving ministries in one program. Use of The Revised Common Lectionary connects the biblical themes for all ages through shared learning, worship, and serving.
"'Seasons' vision is for an authentic Christianity lived in our culturally diverse and religiously pluralistic world; to be signs of God's liberating, compassionate, and inclusive love, and to grow in our relationship with God. Seasons continues to nurture faith through liturgy, ritual, imagination, and to encourage Christian growth through worshipping, learning, and serving together. Our true curriculum is how we live our lives together." ~ Susan Burt, Coordinating Editor, "Seasons of the Spirit"
"SeasonsOnline" recently launched a new website: www.SeasonsOnline.ca. Information on the new delivery format is available on the new site as are free downloadable sample exercises. To find out more about "SeasonsPrint" or "SeasonsDisk" visit: www.SpiritSeasons.com.
